Tax Foreclosure Sale

Under Public Act 123, the sale of liens has been replaced by direct foreclosure to the County Treasurer. Property is then sold at a public auction.

Sale books are available around mid-June each year. Books are $10.00 if picked up at the Treasurer's office, $12.00 if mailed. Auction information is also available at https://www.tax-sale.info/.
